The "bun" used here doesn't necessarily refer to the type of bread bun that is eaten, and is likely just a friendly pet name. However, there are differences between "bun" and "bread." Bread refers to any edible food that is baked with flour, whereas a bun is a type of bread roll that can be made with various types of flavorings, sauces, and fillings. Ex: I'm going to buy some dinner buns at the grocery store. Ex: I love all kinds of bread, especially buns and banana bread!
